On July 11 and 12, Audemars Piguet opened its new boutique on the first two floors of a ten-story building in Tokyo's high-profile Ginza district, a highly sought-after location. The boutique provides an ideal showcase for the brand's timepieces, with the rest of the building housing other Audemars Piguet operations, including customer service, offices and a VIP suite on the top floor. More pics after the jump.

Specifically the Royal Oak Offshore Volcano Limited Edition. Not only did he announce one of the most blockbuster free agent deals (sign-and-trade deal) in NBA history, with his decision to go to Miami (LeBron James, Dwanye Wade and Chris Bosh will all play on the same team), but he did so in style with one of the very best brands in the world of haute horology on his wrist, Audemars Piguet.
